Dear Bob, Linda, Elaine, Mike and Families. Very sorry to learn of your mom's passing. A great lady and host. Your mom always had time for a visit and a meal when we would travel through Boston Bar. The best sauerkraut after the grandparents. Your mom was the last connection to my mom and I see you mom every day as I have the picture of their 1st communion on my dresser. I will miss her.
